The company announced to present *Smart AR Toolbox* [Instant LeARning], an augmented reality solution based on artificial intelligence. It processes images in real time and as stated on their won account, in a reliable and independent way. It enables a better reset in case of pose estimation failure, which until now caused solutions to freeze.

Also to be presented:

Open immersive audio workflow: a suite of 360 audio plugins enabling the creation of premium immersive content and experiences (virtual reality) based around the Higher-Order Ambisonic 3D audio technology (HOA). It is accessible to any sound engineer. The technology is similar to the Ambisonic format currently used in web platforms but is hoping to provide a richer, higher-resolution experience. One specific advantage of this technology is that HOA scenes can be recorded using microphone arrays.

b<>com [SDR-HDR converter]: new version of this compact, high-performance technology is able to convert SDR content into HDR format in Real-Time, in one direction or the other. This new “roundtrip” version allows it to return to SDR format without loss of quality.
